Definitions
- This invention relates to a method for improving the breeding activity of boars by feeding the breeding boars with a feed which contains saccharides mainly composed of oligosaccharides.
- the invention aims at rendering possible the stable conception and the provision of spermatozoa throughout the year, particularly by preventing a reduction in fertilization capacity in the hot season.
- Examples of methods for improving productivity in the pig industry include enlargement of the litter size, elevation of the rate of raising infants, and increment of the farrowing frequency.
- boar-side causes include the onset of diseases such as orchitis and the like, a lack and decrease in copulative passion, the deterioration of semen conditions and the like in the hot season. Especially, it is substantially difficult to check the deterioration of semen conditions in the case of natural mating, for example, so that it is mostly past hope when a breeding malady in boars is found. In addition, since semen conditions in the hot season are unstable, preservable days of semen are also reduced by half, hence posing another problem from the viewpoint of artificial fertilization.
- the present inventors have conducted extensive studies in order to overcome the aforementioned problems. As a result, they have successfully discovered for the first time that a feed which contains saccharides mainly composed of oligosaccharides has excellent effects.
- the present invention has been accomplished on the basis of this finding.
- the present invention relates to a method for improving the fertilization capacity of spermatozoa with the use of a feed for breeding boars which contains saccharides mainly composed of oligosaccharides.
- this invention aims at rendering possible the stable conception and the provision of spermatozoa throughout the year by preventing the reduction of fertilization capacity in boars during the hot season.
- oligosaccharide to be used in the present invention examples include fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, inulooligosaccharides, soybean oligosaccharides, lactulose, isomaltooligosaccharides, lactosucrose, xylooligosaccharides and the like.
- oligosaccharides in which a plurality of fructose molecules are linked as a constituent such as fructooligosaccharides or inulooligosaccharides, is particularly preferred.
- the saccharides containing fructooligosaccharides as the main component, to be used in the present invention are for example a saccharide composition obtained by treating sucrose with a fructose transferase (see JP-A-56-154967; the term "JP-A” as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application”), which is a mixture of fructooligosaccharides in which 1 to 4 fructose molecules are linked to sucrose with sucrose, glucose, fructose and the like.
- This saccharide composition may be manufactured, for example, by the following method.
- BS medium containing 5.0% sucrose, 1.0% peptone, 0.7% boullion and 0.3% sodium chloride was placed in two test tubes (10 ml each) and sterilized at 120° C. for 30 minutes.
- One A"zeful sample of Aspergillus niger (The genus Aspergillus, Williams & Wilkins Corporation, 1965, Item 293) was inoculated to each test tube and incubated at 28° C. for 24 hours.
- the culture thus obtained was then inoculated to two conical flasks each containing 200 ml of BS medium previously sterilized at 120° C. for 30 minutes (10 ml of culture to each), and subjected to shake culture at 28° C. for 24 hours, giving a master culture.
- BS medium Twenty liters of BS medium was charged in a 30-liter jar fermentor, sterilized at 120° C. for 30 minutes and, cooled.
- the master culture prepared above (a total of 400 ml) was inoculated to this medium, and cultivated at 28° C. for 72 hours with aeration and agitation (300 rpm).
- microbial cells were filtered off, and 20 liters of the filtrate was concentrated and purified by ultra-filtration, giving 2 liters of an enzyme solution (enzyme activity: 240 unit/ml).
- sucrose 10 kg was dissolved in 6.7 liters of water, and the pH of the resulting solution was adjusted to 5.0.
- the enzyme solution prepared above 10 kg was added to this solution.
- the mixture was held at 50° C. for 48 hours to complete transformation.
- the mixture was heated at 100° C. for 15 minutes to deactivate the enzyme, and decolorized by addition of activated charcoal (0.5% on solid base).
- the filtrate was treated with ion-exchange resins (Amberlite IR120B and Amberlite IRA411) and then concentrated, affording 12 kg of a sugar composition consisting of 33% glucose (G), 2% fructose (F), 10% sucrose (GF), 25% 1-kestose (GF2), 25% nistose (GF3) and 5% fructosylnistose (GF4).
- ion-exchange resins Amberlite IR120B and Amberlite IRA411
- a feed for breeding boars which contains saccharides containing fructooligosaccharides as the main component (hereinafter, sometime referred to simply as "FO") is obtained by adding the afore-mentioned FO to an ordinary feed for breeding boars.
- the amount of FO to be added is not particularly limited, but, when effect, profitability and the like are taken into consideration, the objectives of the present invention may be fully obtained by adding the FO in an amount of 0.1 to 2 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0.6 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the feed.
- other nutrition supplementing materials such as vitamins, oils and fats and the like may further be added.
- the inventive method was able to improve the in vitro fertilization ratio, the normality and concentration of spermatozoa in the FO feeding group and, especially, to prevent the reduction of fertilization capacity in boars in the hot season. These results show that a stable fertilization capacity can be expected in artificial fertilization throughout the year.
- Boars were continuously fed with an FO-containing feed to examine its effect on semen.
- a total of 6 boars were divided into a control group and a test group, each group containing 3 animals.
- a commercially available feed for breeding boars was used in both groups in an equal amount.
- the commercial feed was mixed with Meiji Feed Oligo SI (manufactured by Meiji Seika Kaisha, Ltd.; FO content, about 27%) in an amount of 10 g/day/head and used as the feed of the present invention. Taking effects of feeding on the fertilization capacity in the hot season into consideration, the test was carried out over a period of from March to December.
- the breeding activity of boars can be improved and the reduction of fertilization capacity can be prevented, especially in the hot season, by the use of feed for breeding boars which contains saccharides mainly composed of oligosaccharides. Because of this, a method which renders the possible stable conception and the provision of spermatozoa throughout the year can be provided easily with low cost.
- This invention greatly contributes to the stable breeding activity of pigs throughout the year, especially for improving the conception frequency.
